Nicki Minaj cancels ANOTHER New Orleans concert just hours before the show
Nicki Minaj took to social media Tuesday night to apologize to fans for canceling her tour stop in New Orleans.
In an Instagram Story she shared with her 229 million followers, she wrote, “New Orleans, please accept my sincerest apologies for having to reschedule our date together.”
The 41-year-old rapper – who brought out Tyga during a recent performance – had to reschedule Monday’s show a few hours before it was due to start due to illness.
She added in her apology, which was a reposted screenshot of an X post: “You mean so much to me and I hate that things didn’t go as planned.”
The New York native then assured fans, “Within the next few days, I hope to update our schedule with a new date where I can give you 100% of myself and nothing less.”

She finished the note by writing, “Always love,” along with a pink bow emoji.
The rap artist followed up the post with another message addressed to her Georgia fans. “Atlanta, I’ll see you tomorrow. Thank you,” she wrote on the popular app.

‘Due to doctor’s orders, Nicki Minaj has to reschedule her NOLA show tonight. Since Nicki is still sick, our team doesn’t want to risk making others sick, and Nicki might not be able to give NOLA the show they deserve.
“We are working hard to find a new date, so save your tickets and we will inform you soon,” it said.
Some fans took to the comments to express their disappointment.
One social media user said: ‘She didn’t just get sick a few hours ago. This should have been announced this morning or yesterday. This is extremely last minute and I’m very frustrated…
Another person added: ‘No one is mad about her cancelling, it’s the fact they waited four hours before the event to officially tell us.’
And a third agreed: ‘That was messed up four hours before the event.’
